Hi Ladies,
I'm due to start the Rotterdam Regimen on Thursday 12th March, and wondering whether anyone else has had this? It's Cisplatin and Etoposide and this is the info from the hospital:

I have reoccurrences in my pelvis and mets to my liver, and this is the way we're going with this (it was going to be taxol but I had an allergic reaction to this previously, and they decided against it.) I'm just trying to find someone else who has been treated with this for Cervical Cancer, as it is usally for Ovarian Cancer. (I have an adenocarcinoma and they have said the similarities to Ovarian mean this may do something for me).
I've been told it's hard and very intensive, and i guess I just want to hear how hard is hard! Bit scared I'm not going to be strong enough to do it so if there's anyone who has had this (or knows someone else who has!) then i'd love to hear how it went/is going.
Thanks,
Lindsey x
